During these dark times, I noticed that I missed your voice and commentary which brought some light into the world for me. I appreciate the video like always, just felt a bit sadder not having those parts to look forward to. Thank you for all your hard work, you are a beacon of light amongst lesser men! Never forget that!
Everyone is saying they miss your voice, but no one is asking if you’re okay. I hope things are well for you and your loved ones. Thank you for ALL your content, keep it coming in whichever format you want. God bless
Hey Joe. I'm sad you've gone silent. I love your videos for the banter and the education. Without them, it falls toward the other ASMR content that I pass right over. I play videos in the background while to do my daily tasks and your lack of audio saddens me. I know the world has gotten you down. There is always a fight to be had against one wrong or another; one disease or another... if we all fell silent in protest, who will be our champions? Find your voice. Some of us need to hear it
Wow! Joe is the only restorer of anything I am subscribed to. The quality of his work is unmatched on UA-cam. A true craftsman and a man of conscience.
You are a bright spot and a gift to humanity as well as a bright spot in our lives. I'm so sorry you are feeling sadness. We can only do our best to be kind and generous to others. Many blessings to you and everyone!
Impossible task, Immaculate restoration, amazing skill. Silence is respect, my thoughts are with all those suffering in this cruel world. I pray for peace.😢
Missed your kind words and fun humor. Watch restoration was great. We miss your compassionate heart and great wit. Come soon with your old format and a tired watch to resurrect. We always enjoy it. Love from Alabama USA
I love watching you work, but the real joy you bring to your videos is your gentle voice and your kind message. There are people suffering a great injustice at this time. It weighs on the hearts of all decent people. Please take care of yourself, your family, and then remember that you're doing your small part for the world as well.
.....I just finished watching this! I was holding my breath throughout the whole thing! I didn't even move to put my coffee cup down! It remained clutched in both hands! I am utterly speechless, and extremely delighted! Thank you so much for sharing this gift!
Браво маэстро. Не представляю как можно было оживить то, что давно умерло. В долгий и добрый путь этим часам. А мастеру уважение и почёт за проделанную работу. Восхищён.
I so miss your beautiful voice and wit. Your son and interactions with him are precious. Even your comments about the world make me feel that others care and art afraid to mention things. Don’t be silent too long. I miss it. XXOO
It was strange not to hear any of your comments, especially since I am so used to your voice that some of the tools' noises sounded scary and surprising, but I understand and approve your decision. Love you, mate, dont leave us for too long this time !
Glad to see you posting again. Its the return of an old friend, a little quieter than normal, but know we are about too and are supporting. Hope all is ok
I love this channel so much. I don’t know the story behind the fact that you’re not narrating your videos anymore, but we all do what we have to do. It won’t stop me watching, that’s for sure.
I love how this guys earnestness is reflected in the audience. Absolutely top tier original UA-cam content, a supremely skilled watch wizard and a fantastic bloke to boot. Another fantastic video, sir.
You literally brought this classic back to life. I never thought it'd be possible to take those nasty scratches away but it worked. Everyone is talking about you loosing your voice. Just hope it's nothing too serious. My neighbour lost hers for 188 days. She and her husband have renewed their wedding vows. LOL
Beautiful work as always Mr Nekkid, Thankyou so much for taking the time to make this video. God Bless you and God Bless all the people currently suffering due to the ongoing war.
I thought this was a lost cause, but your magical hands turned it into a thing of beauty once again. I sincerely hope you regain your dulcet tones soon, as I think I speak for many that its missed. I wish you a speedy recovery, and thanks again for a wonderful video.
Respect your protest and your silence speaks volumes but I think your gentle wit and wisdom is greater. Nature, it is said, abhors a vacuum, so if we are silent, that silence will be filled by voices with less good intent than ours. The resto, was excellent considering the crust you started with. Best to you and your family.
You are a rare positive in a world full of negatives. While I find your skills bordering on superhuman, your patience and love are what make your videos so alluring. You are a role model not just for men, but for all humanity. Peace to you, Joe. ☮
A watch is a classic example of what the human species should be. We are all different shapes and sizes with different functions but unless we work in harmony, we will never run smoothly if we run at all. You do beautiful work Mate and have a kind heart. Have hope and keep the faith.
Hi Joe, I understand (I think) and support your decision, but I honestly think your voice is one of the things that makes the world a better place. Best wishes, Selwyn.
Thank you for taking us with you whilst restoring this beautiful watch. I love the face so much. It is elegantly simple. Witnessing your restorations renders a sense that there is still hope in the world. God bless and keep you always.
If your voice needs a rest, let it rest. Hope you're okay and I'm another person that misses your voice and of course your kids voices in the background.
Joe, we understand if recent, cruel, genocidal events have made you want to retreat into silence…perfectly understandable…but I would hate to think that they have robbed you of your important voice.❤
That watch tells a story of a previous owner who fell upon hard times but still held on to it rather than pawning it. Makes you wonder how he got it and what it meant to him.
Who are you protesting to? Thank you for spending the timed care, love to you family and watches too. We all need to be like you for peace. Oh look behind you, Trouble sneezing.
Your silence is an expression of the extreme misery we currently live in and calls for reconciliation and peace for all people. It is stronger than words ... Thank you for this masterpiece and stay strong
Nice cup of coffee and a relaxing moment to see your expertise in action again, that will give me a small moment of joy and hope. I hope yours joy and hope will return also. Peace!
Beautiful work, Joe. Very depressing that this world is in such a state that it has robbed you of the sweetness and joy I’m so accustomed to hearing in your videos. I really enjoy your banter as you work, and hearing the love and warmth in your voice when Trouble visits the workshop. I don’t mind the ASMR versions, but there was something very different and powerful, watching this and knowing it was a silent protest. I pray that your silent protest and the efforts of others bring the peace and healing that is so desperately needed. I was surprised to see that the keyless works in this Oris watch are almost identical to those in a tiny 1880s woman’s cylinder escapement pendant watch that I finished restoring last week. The only difference was the position of the click, and the shape of the cover plate and scale of the parts. The layout and functionality was the same. Each time I complete the restoration of a non-running cylinder escapement movement, I tell myself that it’ll be the last. Then another one finds me, is inevitably an heirloom with great sentimental value and I find myself saying “ok, I’ll do one more”. I’d love to see you repair one that needs more than a clean and lubrication if one happens to cross your bench. There is very little such content on UA-cam, especially in English. The fact that so few watchmakers will agree to work on them has given rise to an impression that they’re incredibly difficult to service. Parts availability can be a problem, but most of them were built to be serviceable. Take care, Joe, and please, do not despair.
Thank you Joe, your beautiful restorations taking something so dirty and broken and reviving it to even better than its former best, reminds me of what the creator plans for us broken souls. Hang in there brother and thanks for the lift!
You are the only UA-camr I’m subscribed to with the spine to express their beliefs like this. For that I commend you. Thanks for using your platform for good.
I love to see your work in bringing back once great watches from the grave. This one reminded me of an old classic Mercedes sitting in a muddy field in the mud for decades, and seeing your step by step process in repairing and renewing it somehow gives hope for us in today's troubled world.
Your work is wonderful. I also realize I watch your videos because of your charm and commentary.
Yes, a very soothing & relaxing voice I agree :)
During these dark times, I noticed that I missed your voice and commentary which brought some light into the world for me. I appreciate the video like always, just felt a bit sadder not having those parts to look forward to. Thank you for all your hard work, you are a beacon of light amongst lesser men! Never forget that!
Rode hard and put up wet…….l
Did the bulk of the video where the watch was being sanded and buffed get fast forwarded?
THESE WILL BE THE GREATEST TIMES OF ALL !!! 😸™️🍺👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Miss the commenting from you during video. That’s the best part. Love your son when he comes in.
Everyone is saying they miss your voice, but no one is asking if you’re okay.
I hope things are well for you and your loved ones. Thank you for ALL your content, keep it coming in whichever format you want.
God bless
I agree with everyone else. Your kind comments and gentle humor is enjoyable and sooooo refreshing. Please give us your voice back! Thanks
But no singing, please.
Hey Joe. I'm sad you've gone silent. I love your videos for the banter and the education. Without them, it falls toward the other ASMR content that I pass right over. I play videos in the background while to do my daily tasks and your lack of audio saddens me. I know the world has gotten you down. There is always a fight to be had against one wrong or another; one disease or another... if we all fell silent in protest, who will be our champions? Find your voice. Some of us need to hear it
Totally agree
His words definitely bring life to the restoration
It is a journey listening to these and learning from you in your dulcet tone. Hopefully we hear you again soon.
I agree. If you have the talent, why hide it? I miss your voice, mate.
Please reconsider. I love hearing your son in the background or how you tease and teach him. You are a positive force in this World.
Wow! Joe is the only restorer of anything I am subscribed to. The quality of his work is unmatched on UA-cam. A true craftsman and a man of conscience.
In these dark times the sound of your voice brings light and hope, please talk to us again. That said, your silence speaks volumes. Peace.
You are a bright spot and a gift to humanity as well as a bright spot in our lives. I'm so sorry you are feeling sadness. We can only do our best to be kind and generous to others. Many blessings to you and everyone!
Beautiful silent work. Well done
Joe, you stand for peace, love, and justice. We stand for you, as well as those things. Stay strong.
Nicely said.
Thanks!
I'm a simple man. I see a new Nekkid Watchmaker video, I click, I watch, I like... I'm happy.
Impossible task, Immaculate restoration, amazing skill. Silence is respect, my thoughts are with all those suffering in this cruel world. I pray for peace.😢
Thank you for always practicing such kindness, I look forward to a time in the world when you and many like you feel their voice can be heard again.
Missed your kind words and fun humor. Watch restoration was great. We miss your compassionate heart and great wit. Come soon with your old format and a tired watch to resurrect. We always enjoy it. Love from Alabama USA
I dont know which was stronger, the incredible restoration or your silent protest. Amen to them both. Stay strong Joe!
No more silent protests. Your comments are also what makes your videos so enjoyable. Keep up the great work 👍
He is silent for very good reasons I like his commentary as well but I understand his actions
@@thunderdick6117they are?
Miss your voice Joe, but understand your reasons.
Lovely work as always.
Beautiful work again Joe. Both the watch and the message. Peace and happiness to you and your family.
I love watching you work, but the real joy you bring to your videos is your gentle voice and your kind message.
There are people suffering a great injustice at this time. It weighs on the hearts of all decent people. Please take care of yourself, your family, and then remember that you're doing your small part for the world as well.
I'll join the chorus of those missing your narration, I hope this finds you well and happy.
.....I just finished watching this! I was holding my breath throughout the whole thing! I didn't even move to put my coffee cup down! It remained clutched in both hands! I am utterly speechless, and extremely delighted! Thank you so much for sharing this gift!
You are an inspiration to us all while the world is in pain. Let's hope love finds a way. I admire your passion and protests.
You are an amazing human, Joe.
Nice work with the restoration as always and the silent message. Peace
I missed: "Greetings my fellow earthlings ..." and your humor and the laughter of your kids in the back ground. But the job was perfect like always.
Браво маэстро. Не представляю как можно было оживить то, что давно умерло. В долгий и добрый путь этим часам. А мастеру уважение и почёт за проделанную работу. Восхищён.
Amazing work as always, Love the choice of color for the hands. And that band that you put on was very elegent. I miss your voice over though.
Sincerely hope that your voice returns to spread again the happiness and peaceful messages that we love so much.
I so miss your beautiful voice and wit. Your son and interactions with him are precious. Even your comments about the world make me feel that others care and art afraid to mention things. Don’t be silent too long. I miss it. XXOO
I normally watch this type of video, late at night, without sound....unimaginable how relaxing it can be.....
Fantastic restoration! As a person with a tremor I find it very relaxing watching your meticulous work.
There are days when a rare heart like yours inspires me. Peace and love are rare and you are even more so.
It was strange not to hear any of your comments, especially since I am so used to your voice that some of the tools' noises sounded scary and surprising, but I understand and approve your decision. Love you, mate, dont leave us for too long this time !
Glad to see you posting again. Its the return of an old friend, a little quieter than normal, but know we are about too and are supporting. Hope all is ok
I love this channel so much. I don’t know the story behind the fact that you’re not narrating your videos anymore, but we all do what we have to do. It won’t stop me watching, that’s for sure.
Brilliant craftsmanship and skill. You didn't say a word, but I heard your voice and wit. What a extraordinary restoration of a gorgeous watch.
Every time I watch one of your vids I find it calming and peaceful and love the work you do
I love how this guys earnestness is reflected in the audience. Absolutely top tier original UA-cam content, a supremely skilled watch wizard and a fantastic bloke to boot. Another fantastic video, sir.
You literally brought this classic back to life. I never thought it'd be possible to take those nasty scratches away but it worked. Everyone is talking about you loosing your voice. Just hope it's nothing too serious. My neighbour lost hers for 188 days. She and her husband have renewed their wedding vows. LOL
I could watch you work all day. It's very therapeutic.
The silence is not as powerful as the love you share in your videos. Love overcomes all things.
Beautiful work as always Mr Nekkid, Thankyou so much for taking the time to make this video. God Bless you and God Bless all the people currently suffering due to the ongoing war.
I thought this was a lost cause, but your magical hands turned it into a thing of beauty once again.
I sincerely hope you regain your dulcet tones soon, as I think I speak for many that its missed. I wish you a speedy recovery, and thanks again for a wonderful video.
It’s not the same without your lovely commentary. 😊
Thank you for another amazing video. It is great to watch experts like you put the hard dedication on UA-cam for our joy.
Respect your protest and your silence speaks volumes but I think your gentle wit and wisdom is greater. Nature, it is said, abhors a vacuum, so if we are silent, that silence will be filled by voices with less good intent than ours.
The resto, was excellent considering the crust you started with.
Best to you and your family.
Beautiful restoration of a classic timepiece
Amazing. You are truly gifted. Peace, brother.
You are a rare positive in a world full of negatives. While I find your skills bordering on superhuman, your patience and love are what make your videos so alluring. You are a role model not just for men, but for all humanity. Peace to you, Joe. ☮
Your work is always top notch, but your humanity is even on a higher plane.
Cheers & best wishes for your family both near & far.
What amazing craftsmanship! I loved the restoration. Thank you!
Yeah we miss your words of wisdom!!! ❤
A watch is a classic example of what the human species should be. We are all different shapes and sizes with different functions but unless we work in harmony, we will never run smoothly if we run at all. You do beautiful work Mate and have a kind heart. Have hope and keep the faith.
I don't know why, but your silence brought tears to my eyes.
Thanks
Your macro filming just gets better and better with each video.
Someone's up late :) (or is it early?)
The audio is magnificent [quality] ❤ bravo to the team of sound engineers /
Sadly missing the joy, wit and wisdom of an inspirational human being.
WOW as someone who does this as a hobby, I am blown away at your skills and your tools, Lots of skills and thousands in tools. True artist
Hi Joe, I understand (I think) and support your decision, but I honestly think your voice is one of the things that makes the world a better place.
Best wishes, Selwyn.
In this (mostly) vanity driven ,yt watch world we inhabit,you are a shining light,my friend!Peace and liberation to all living beings!
You never fail to amaze! Nice job! Beautiful old Oris!
Your restoration of that particular watch and your protest , just perfect. Thank you.
Thank you for taking us with you whilst restoring this beautiful watch. I love the face so much. It is elegantly simple. Witnessing your restorations renders a sense that there is still hope in the world. God bless and keep you always.
Even in the worst situation , there can be a beautiful outcome , nice resto .
As always, good to see you Joe even if we don't hear you...except we can hear you without a word. Stay safe and be well.
If your voice needs a rest, let it rest. Hope you're okay and I'm another person that misses your voice and of course your kids voices in the background.
Love the peace and quiet 👍
❤ we love you and we love your voice and i for one admire your protest!.We need more people like you
I miss the commentary, your funny jokes, stories, explanations, kids running around, all of it. Come back. I miss your voice.
Sound or no sound... you Sir are a miracle worker... A prophet of your art ❤
Joe, we understand if recent, cruel, genocidal events have made you want to retreat into silence…perfectly understandable…but I would hate to think that they have robbed you of your important voice.❤
What a great work, and what a beautiful hidden gem! Love your videos!
great restoration, missed your words though, thanks for the content.
Blessings to you and to everyone. Breathtaking craftsmanship, beautiful outcome. Thanks for always sharing and caring.
That watch tells a story of a previous owner who fell upon hard times but still held on to it rather than pawning it. Makes you wonder how he got it and what it meant to him.
Who are you protesting to? Thank you for spending the timed care, love to you family and watches too. We all need to be like you for peace. Oh look behind you, Trouble sneezing.
Thanx for showing solidarity with Palestine ❤❤❤
I congratulate you not only for your videos but as I just realised your courage to express your view with no words.
Your silence is an expression of the extreme misery we currently live in and calls for reconciliation and peace for all people. It is stronger than words ... Thank you for this masterpiece and stay strong
Nice cup of coffee and a relaxing moment to see your expertise in action again, that will give me a small moment of joy and hope. I hope yours joy and hope will return also. Peace!
Stop the Wars!
Stunning once again.
A metaphor perhaps? Showing that with enough effort anything can be fixed?
Continue your incredible work. X
Beautiful work, Joe. Very depressing that this world is in such a state that it has robbed you of the sweetness and joy I’m so accustomed to hearing in your videos.
I really enjoy your banter as you work, and hearing the love and warmth in your voice when Trouble visits the workshop.
I don’t mind the ASMR versions, but there was something very different and powerful, watching this and knowing it was a silent protest.
I pray that your silent protest and the efforts of others bring the peace and healing that is so desperately needed.

Take care, Joe, and please, do not despair.
You are an Artist and I do love watching you create your art. Peace to you and yours, and peace to this troubled planet.
Joe, I think they were fibbing when they said it was waterproof.
A lot of watches are truly waterproof. Omega Seamaster, Rolex Submariner, Seiko dive watches etc etc
O yes they are. My seamaster can stand water up to 1000 feet. I’ve never been that deep by the way.
Wonderful work! The art of watch restoration.
Watch looks great. I missed your commentary.
Thank you Joe, your beautiful restorations taking something so dirty and broken and reviving it to even better than its former best, reminds me of what the creator plans for us broken souls. Hang in there brother and thanks for the lift!
Your silence speaks loudly. ☮️
Huge respect, not only for your sheer artistry & craftsmanship but also for your conscience..
love the support for palestine!
Amazing! I love watching these makeovers. Bringing a tired old watch back to life is so satisfying to see.
You are the only UA-camr I’m subscribed to with the spine to express their beliefs like this. For that I commend you. Thanks for using your platform for good.
I love to see your work in bringing back once great watches from the grave. This one reminded me of an old classic Mercedes sitting in a muddy field in the mud for decades, and seeing your step by step process in repairing and renewing it somehow gives hope for us in today's troubled world.
Love to see your unique way of supporting Palestine.❤❤❤❤❤
I missed you and your family. I pray for you much❤ from Pennsylvania
👍👍👍 FREE PALESTINE
I am also sad u have gone silent. I love your gentle manner and expertise in watch repair.
Poignant. Thank you for your love for Palestine.
